You can safely delete /Library/Frameworks/Python.Framework Also look in /usr/local/bin for any files whose names start with "python"; delete those. The system python is in /System/Frameworks and is safe from your changes. Note that multiple versions of user-installed python can coexist. If so you may want to delete something inside of /Library/Frameworks/Python.Framework instead, but that doesn't appear to be your case. (Also if you are otherwise happy with Python 2.6 you could just use it to install the other packages you are missing. Personally I prefer using a user-installed Python for my own work, rather than cluttering up the system python with user-installed packages.) -- Russell _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
